Abstract

The present application relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular relates to a control method for an indoor distribution system, a chip, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. The control method for an indoor distribution system includes: receiving uplink signal powers of a terminal reported by respective pRRUs in the indoor distribution system; determining a home pRRU for the terminal according to the uplink signal powers of the terminal reported by the pRRUs; and allowing, during scheduling for the terminal, only a downlink channel of the home pRRU for the terminal to be turned on.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

         2 . The control method for an indoor distribution system according to  claim 1 , wherein determining the home pRRU for the terminal according to the uplink signal powers of the terminal reported by the pRRUs comprises:
 selecting a highest uplink signal power from the uplink signal powers of the terminal, and taking a pRRU reporting the highest uplink signal power as a primary pRRU for the terminal, wherein the home pRRU for the terminal comprises the primary pRRU; and   if a pRRU satisfying a preset condition other than the primary pRRU is present among the pRRUs, taking the pRRU satisfying the preset condition as a secondary pRRU for the terminal, wherein the preset condition comprises: a difference between the uplink signal power of the terminal reported by the pRRU and the uplink signal power of the terminal reported by the primary pRRU is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, and the home pRRU for the terminal further comprises the secondary pRRU.   
     
     
         3 . The control method for an indoor distribution system according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of terminals are provided, and the control method for an indoor distribution system further comprises:
 before allowing, during scheduling for the terminal, only the downlink channel of the home pRRU for the terminal to be turned on, determining whether several terminals with the home pRRU satisfying a preset similar condition are present among the plurality of terminals, and if present, taking the several terminals with the home pRRU satisfying the preset similar condition among the plurality of terminals as a same group of terminals, and   allowing, during scheduling for the terminal, only the downlink channel of the home pRRU for the terminal to be turned on comprises:   scheduling the terminals in the same group of terminals within a same scheduling period, and allowing only downlink channels of home pRRUs for the terminals in the same group of terminals to be turned on during scheduling.   
     
     
         4 . The control method for an indoor distribution system according to  claim 3 , wherein determining the home pRRU for the terminal according to the uplink signal powers of the terminal reported by the pRRUs comprises:
 selecting a highest uplink signal power from the uplink signal powers of the terminal, and taking a pRRU reporting the highest uplink signal power as a primary pRRU for the terminal, wherein the home pRRU for the terminal comprises the primary pRRU; and   if a pRRU satisfying a preset condition other than the primary pRRU is present among the pRRUs, taking the pRRU satisfying the preset condition as a secondary pRRU for the terminal, wherein the preset condition comprises: a difference between the uplink signal power of the terminal reported by the pRRU and the uplink signal power of the terminal reported by the primary pRRU is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, and the home pRRU for the terminal further comprises the secondary pRRU, and   determining whether several terminals with the home pRRU satisfying the preset similar condition are present among the plurality of terminals, and if present, taking the several terminals with the home pRRU satisfying the preset similar condition among the plurality of terminals as the same group of terminals comprises:   polling a target terminal according to a scheduling order of the plurality of terminals, and determining, among terminals arranged behind the target terminal, whether a terminal having the same primary pRRU as the target terminal is present; and if present, selecting the terminal having the same primary pRRU as the target terminal as a terminal with the home pRRU satisfying the preset similar condition; and updating a first terminal not selected and arranged behind the target terminal as a new target terminal, wherein a terminal arranged first according to the scheduling order is firstly polled as the target terminal, and the same group of terminals comprise the target terminal and a terminal having a similar home pRRU to the target terminal.   
     
     
         5 . The control method for an indoor distribution system according to  claim 3 , wherein the terminal comprises at least one first terminal and several second terminals, the first terminal has a higher scheduling priority than the second terminals, and the terminals in the same group of terminals are the second terminals. 
     
     
         6 . The control method for an indoor distribution system according to  claim 5 , wherein allowing, during scheduling for the terminal, only the downlink channel of the home pRRU for the terminal to be turned on further comprises:
 scheduling a single first terminal in a single scheduling period, and allowing only a downlink channel of the home pRRU for the first terminal to be turned on during scheduling,   wherein the scheduling of the first terminal precedes scheduling of the second terminals.   
     
     
         7 . The control method for an indoor distribution system according to  claim 3 , wherein the preset similar condition comprises: the home pRRUs of the several terminals comprise at least one same home pRRU, and an uplink signal power of each terminal reported by at least one same home pRRU is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold. 
     
     
         8 . The control method for an indoor distribution system according to  claim 1 , further comprises:
 allowing a downlink channel of each pRRU in the indoor distribution system to be turned on during common signal scheduling, wherein the common signal scheduling is configured for message broadcasting.   
     
     
         9 . A control method for an indoor distribution system, comprising:
 receiving, by each pRRU in the indoor distribution system, a corresponding switch control instruction and controlling a downlink channel of the pRRU to be turned on or off according to the switch control instruction,   wherein the switch control instruction for each pRRU is generated in the control method for an indoor distribution system according to  claim 1 , the switch control instruction for a pRRU that is allowed to turn on the downlink channel is an ON instruction, and the switch control instruction for a pRRU that is not allowed to turn on the downlink channel is an OFF instruction.
